A 36-year-old female patient diagnosed with asthma at an external center was referred to us after her complaints did not improve, at which point, hoarseness was added to the complaints. Stridor was identified in a respiratory system examination. Tracheal stenosis was seen in a postero-anterior chest X-ray and a fixed airway obstruction in a respiratory function test, upon which, the patient was referred to the ear, nose and throat department. Subglottic stenosis was detected on a neck computerized tomography and a bronchoscopy evaluation. The etiology of subglottic stenosis was evaluated, collagen tissue markers were positive, and the patient was asked to undergo a rheumatology consultation. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with Sjögren syndrome based on a salivary gland biopsy result. This rare case is presented to underline the need to keep Sjögren syndrome in mind as an etiology of subglottic stenosis.
